WONDER AT THE CREATOR AS A BABY
PONDER THE MESSIAH CRUCIFIED FOR OUR SINS.
REJOICE THAT CHRIST HAS CONQUERED DEATH FOR US ALL…

You ask why I follow this Jesus –
Why I love Him the way that I do _
When the world's turned away from His teachings,
And the people who serve Him are few.

It's not the rewards that I'm after,
Or gifts I hope to receive –
It's the presence that calls for commitment,
It's the Spirit I trust and believe.

The Lord doesn't shelter His faithful,
Or spare them all suffering and pain;
Like everyone else I have burdens,
And walk through my share of the rain.

Yet He gives me a plan and a purpose,
And that joy only Christians have known;
I never know what comes tomorrow,
But I do know I'm never alone.

It's the love that's there when you need it:
It's the words that redeem and inspire --
It's the longing to ever be with Him,
That burns in my heart like a fire.

So you ask why I love my Lord Jesus---
Well, friend, that's easy to see,
But the one thing that fills me with wonder,
Is why Jesus loves someone like me?

Ephesians 3: 18-21

 

THANK YOU GOD FOR LOVING US ALL UNCONDITIONALLY! IN JESUS NAME I PRAY. AMEN. Bea Neff
